Pink Camo paper!

Well hello long time no see. Sorry about the lack of post, I have been crafting just had to handle some other things as well. You know how it is sometimes you have to put home first. But the good news I am so much better since my last post. Amazing how behind you can get when you cant get up and do stuff like you normally would.
Anywho since I have been getting caught up I thought I pop in and share another Anniversary card. Both my brothers have the same wedding anniversary just different years. Its funny they did not plan that just happened. Youngest brother and SIL celebrated 20 years and the oldest brother and his wife 13 years. This card I made was for my oldest brother & SIL.

Yes its pink camo! LOL But thought it make for a cute county looking card. We sat on hay bails at there wedding, was a true country wedding. I am sure if pink camo was big back then it would have been touches of it...lol But really it was a great wedding and we all had fun. And of course there was kegs, not a country wedding without it...lol Anyways Thanks for looking and have more cards to share soon. Just been busy with the house and to I have got back into couponing full force. Here a few deals I got one day.

Gatorade recover .59 each after 1.00 target coupon, Advil I got paid to buy after 5.00 target gift card back when you bought two, Yes to was only 1.30 per pack after coupons plus 5.00 target gift card back. Smuckers topping free after reg coupon plus target coupons. Glade air fresher free after coupon. Dial 1.00 each after coupon. Revlon hair color free after coupons CVS. Its a pain couponing but when I check out and its only a few bucks it was all worth it. :)

Anniversary card



Hello everyone! Once again its a late blog post. I had this post ready 10 days ago and then I come down with a medical issue. They think they know what it is and got meds that I hope will resolve my issues lest I hope and pray. So frustrating when I think its getting back to normal, boom! So anyway here is the post I had ready, gonna post it no matter what dang it!
Happy anniversary card. I will warn you this card is a lot of layers. So this card is not a regular mail card, I am going to have to mail this in a bubble package more than likely. But totally worth it! Now to give credit where credit is due I kinda took this idea from a cricut magazine, the May 2012 edition. Its in the tag section page 123 and the person who did the tag is Roree Rumph. Really pretty tag! And I am finding these mags come in handy for getting ideas. Roree used flower shoppe, many layers and all the cut sizes are on the page. Because this was going on a card I made it bigger but yet not as thick. Here is her tag.

How I did mine was I cut two flowers of each size. Starting from the biggest I cut two then dropped down a size and then cut two and so on. Until I got the the outer flower I desired. By the way sorry forgot to add I used the flower shoppe MUM 4. The center is cut stack4 off flower shoppe, however I did cut 3 of these. Leaves is off flower shoppe as well and its the mum leaf. Then once I had them all cut I curled the petals forward, embossed the leafs with swiss dots. I thought the flower turned out pretty full with out the extra bulk. Its fairly simple card once you get the cuts done. I made a small envelope and added it to a tag. The note coming out of it is just scrap paper I used part of a word stamp to stamp it. The hearts were in my scrap cuts bin added glassy accents to the hearts. All supplies will be listed below. Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)

Birthday Card

Hello as promised I am back. Since the weather is so so hot here I have been even crafting more this week. Normally I enjoy my bike rides everyday but at 104 outside today don't think I will be doing it...lol. I went yesterday for short ride super late it was 8 pm just before dark, was still pretty hot. Tomorrow is going to be 106, gosh I dread it! Ready for fall already dang it....lol Anyway other than crafting I have just been doing stuff around the house and bills blah blah same old same old. Last night as I was working in my craft room I decided the craft room needs a over haul. Going to start working on that soon. Just need to reorganize some areas. Some things don't need as much storage anymore and others items have out grown there homes. When crafting I have found I work best in a nice organized room. So probably share that with you guys when I do it. Will take before and after and maybe do a more detailed look inside the storage. Well thought I would share this birthday card with you all. I hope everyone's week has been going good so far. Thanks for looking and supplies will be listed below as always.

New life challenges

Family emergency...
I am not sure if I have people who read or look at my blog much lately, but just in case there is even just a few. I just wanted to say I will not be able to post lest for a week or two maybe more, I am not sure yet. I had planned on getting back to crafting and blogging starting this week. But life has thrown us a huge challenge. They say the lord dont put more on you than you can handle but I keep asking why is he doing this, we are not this strong. What was a pretty good week ended Saturday with a passing of a loved one. It has been a shock to say the lest and we are just taking it hour by hour day by day. Its only been two days but yet it seems like its been a week. The hours drag on and all we do is keep going doing what we have to. Have not had much sleep so forgive me if this post is not worded well or well put together. But starting tomorrow we will be busy lest for a few days then we have to deal with other things. I just wanted to be fair and tell anyone reading my blog or the few who read it, I wont be around for maybe two weeks or more not sure yet. If I do post at all this week it will be with a update. I would like to ask those who read this blog please say a prayer for our family. We have been so blessed to have such lovely neighbors they have come paid there respects even said a prayer. And also a neighbor who has just been great to us since we moved in, she is helping by having our yard work done. Just so sweet. And our closest friends we have come over today to help out. All I can say is I can feel the love and it helps so much we are blessed. Even the little things like a neighbor who brought a house plant over just means so much right now. If I might ask whom ever reads my blog to please say a prayer for our family. Would greatly be appreciated.  Just feel like we are stuck in a bad dream you cant wake up from. And the next day you wake you have that moment were you hope it was just all a bad dream and then you get up and realize it was not a dream. I have had many times I have just say out loud please let this nightmare end. Anyway I am sorry I have rattled on and on. I will give updates maybe this week. I am just so tried I think I am going to try to get rest while I can, its going to be a long day tomorrow.

Peep's Cards

Yeah Easter is almost here! I am glad in a way its early this year cause I wont be able to buy any more Reese's Easter eggs...lol Its a weakness for me, love the white chocolate ones. Today as I was trying to figure out what to wear Easter I realized I have put on a few pounds and it all went to my hips...lol Oh well Easter is only here once a year right. :) Anyway so today I thought I share my last Easter card with you guys. And yes the card theme was around the Easter Candies everyone knows PEEPS. The famous sugary candy in the shapes of chicks and bunny's. Truth I think there super cute but I really don't care for them.
So for this card I was in a hurry so its not the finale look I really wanted but I did not have time for glitter to dry. I was going to glitter the bunny's so they looked sugary wish I had not been rushed on time. I used the cricut craft room and the cricut cart Doodlecharms. For the head I used the doodlecharms and then welded a basic circle on bottom for each one. Then welded them all together so they look like PEEPS. For the sentiment I just used the computer to print them out since I did not have any stamps with that saying. Its a very simple card not fancy at all only took a few minutes  for the cards and be a easy mass produced card to make. Well off to get my craft room picked up Blah. Thanks for stopping in and looking and as always the supplies will be listed below.

Okay sorry for posting a day late meant to have this up yesterday but needed to finish some cards and pick my craft / guest room up cause I thought we had family coming in a found out the hub miss understood....lol Anyway lest its done right. Okay so last week I got some copics and other alcohol markers, had been really wanting to try them since I have kinda got back into stamping. For those who have not worked with copics, there is a art to them. I have never worked with anything like them in my past so this was a first for me. If you get some I would say break them out and just practice and practice more. I still have not really got great with them, but getting better. I want to be able to blend better than I have with this card. I will make a post with tips I have figured out with working with them through mistakes and figuring out what papers work best. Paper and what stamp pads you use make a big difference. I wish they had this back when I took art would have been fun to work with. Okay well here is a card I made using them. I used this craft smart stamp from Michael's, thought this chick with bunny ears was cute. I am not in love with this card felt like it needed something else, its pretty simple. Well thanks for stopping in looking and I will have another card tomorrow. As always supplies listed below.

Easter card

Wow cant believe its been a week and a half since I last posted. Got involved in trying out some copic's and and trying other alcohol markers. There fun to use with stamping but there is a art to them. Anyway that will be in the next post I did make something today with the copic's so will have that post in the next day or two. But for now wanted to share this card I made for Easter. Seen a roll of burlap at Michael's and thought be fun to use this on a card. Also I picked up some awesome deals on Glimmer Mist. I could not believe how cheap they were. 1.99 per bottle of glimmer mist. I LOVE LOVE LOVE glimmer mist so I grabbed them up. They only had three colors on clearance but they were really good colors that I would use a lot. For this card I used all of them in some way. Leaf using (Kiwi) flower using (Rouge). And over all used (Cork) for some of the background paper just for some added shimmer. Was going for a distressed look with this card. Anyway will be back tomorrow with another card, thanks for dropping in. :) As always supplies listed below.

Your're not old, your're Vintage!

You ever have a cricut cart that you stash and don't open? I have a few I get them and think I am just not sure about. Well I finally broke down and opened my "Just Because Cards". LOL I have had it seems like forever but did not know if I would really use the content on it. I needed a card for my dad and I had no idea what I was going to use. Then I looked at this cart and seen this pick up truck. He is into old trucks, he owns a couple. He has a weakness for them and just has to buy them when he sees one for sale...lol Anyway when I seen this truck I knew I wanted to use it. Also had this stamp set that I thought was cute. He likes kinda funny cards so thought I use the "Your're Not Old You're Vintage"

For the pickup I cut it out of metallic blue paper, his favorite truck is blue which we joke all the time about. We call it old blue, it needs a little TLC or a lot. We joke with all the time he will be driving that truck till the day it falls apart while he is going down the road. So when I was making the card it had to be blue....lol I also added a fishing pole in the pickup bed cause he loves his fishing. Well thanks for stopping in and supplies will be below as always.
Sorry about the photo being kinda dark so took a close up of the pickup cut.

For all those who have cricut craft room it has been available for free to use since Feb 14th it is only free to use one more day it goes till the 20th. On the Feb 21st you can buy it. I hope some of you have had the chance to use it. Yesterday was the first day I had free to play with it.
My thoughts on it, there is not a ton of content on it from what I have seen. I will say from the little bit I have got to explore it all the items go well together. Not sure if it will be a full content cart or a solution cart I am thinking it will be a solution cart. Lest I hope don't think I would pay the price of full content cart and I really would like to get this cart. Think it make a great cart to add to a collection for those who enjoy card making. Great card designs and they work well together for adding your own touch. And if this is going to be solutions cart and you don't own other card design carts this be a great starter cart even just to have for card bases. So we will see on the 21st what price point it will be but here is the link to check it out and if you have cricut craft room go explore it while you can ends on the 20th and you can use it for free lest till the 20th not sure if it ends at midnight or you have all day on the 20th to.

I am finally over it thank goodness....lol So thought I pop in here and share the card I made. I am behind in cards so going to really have to get busy making them.

Yesterday I only rode 4 miles but the winds was so bad, 24 mph and it was head wind the whole way.

Valentine's card

Well it is once again that time of year, time for making Valentine's day cards and such.


 I dont make a bunch of them but I do make some for family and have to make my BFF one....lol This is the first card of the Valentines cards to come. I made this one for my mom, kinda had mental block going at the time I made this. Sometimes no matter what just seems like you cant figure out what to do, this was one of those days. Wanted to try something different a new layout but know I have done this style card before. I find I use a lot of flowers on my cards, I am trying to break that habit. But its so hard cause I love paper flowers....lol
Anyway hope you all have had a great week. I am still working on this time management thing....lol Its one of my new years goals for me. Just got the last of Christmas down Friday, but I kinda wanted to enjoy some of the decorations a little longer. The tree was gone the week after Christmas though since we use a real tree. I loved Christmas but I was so glad it was over, had been a ruff year for us. So I was ready for a new year and rid the old year good bye...lol Cant believe we are already half way through Jan. And we finally got winter weather here in Texas, had been in the 70's up to about mid Dec. Then Christmas day we had snow and it took us 4 hours to get home that day when it normally is a two hour drive. And yesterday we had a surprise snow was not much but sure was cold. Have not been biking much cause its been to cold or windy, so missing it. I did go last Friday even though it was windy but it was 70 outside I did not care I was going...lol I rode 8 miles and I fought my way back home in the wind but it was to pretty to not go. Anyways so that is what I have been up to just catching up on stuff and making some time to craft and get some riding in when I can. Will have another post very soon thanks for looking. :)

Male Birthday card

Yeah I am back with a card! As promised I am starting back crafting and blogging. Since my nephews birthday is coming up thought I start off with making a birthday card for him. He is turning 19! I cant believe it, seemed like yesterday he was 5. He is now in college and is doing great so proud of him. Anyways I wanted to make him a card that was simple and grown up. I always have a hard time making male cards. Did not have any of this card planned out, I just started making it and went what come to me. I cut stripes of left over paper and began gluing them down to scrap piece of paper. The banner was a accident I noticed that one piece of paper strip I had put on the card did not adhere in the middle and then I thought hum I could put a banner through there and a huge brad. As I said its simple, was super easy to make. Thanks for looking and hope everyone has had a great first week of the new year. As always supplies listed below.

Late Happy New Year!

Happy NEW YEAR!


Well I know the first day of 2013 is almost gone but wanted to still say to everyone happy new year. I hope everyone has had a safe and great new years. Its that that time of year to make resolutions to lose weight, or healthy or get organized. I used to make long list of what I want to accomplish for the near year and of course get organized on top of the list. This year for me I am not making list list cause the things I wont to change can not be accomplished by a list to check off.

I want to work on becoming a better person and working towards a better life. I feel like I have lost the old me the person I was in the 10 years. I want to find that person again. And I want to work towards bettering our life, our finances and our home. Have purpose other than to make sure bills are paid and the house is clean. I want to have a life I am proud of sometimes I feel like I live such a small life. When people ask "what do you do" I hang my head and say I am a housewife. Then I know the dreaded question is coming "Oh how many children do you have" none. I then feel even worse, its like I can feel the judgment in there voice. I know some will say you should not care what others think and that is true, but its me who has to be okay with it. And the truth is I am not, so these are things I plan to work on this year, even if I only can make small changes it will be getting me on the road to where I want to be. That is my resolution for 2013 besides learning not to right 2012....lol

I am sorry if this post sounds down and out its not meant to be just want to put it out there so I can remind myself and have a goal. And also as I said in my Christmas post I am blogging again. I am sorry I was away so long but I am back, I have really missed blogging and sharing. That is a goal for me this year as well to make sure I have this blog no matter what. So be looking for some craftiness really soon.

I wish you all a happy healthy 2013 I hope its a great year for you all.
